DCS: P-51D Mustang
« on: January 30, 2013, 02:43:11 PM »
What you guys think of this game? Looks interesting to me, heavy focus on a realistic flight model and they are developing a FW190 as we speak aswell. Cannot compete with AH, since the arenas only can hold 32 players and its just a P51D at the moment. But toejam having an AH with those graphics would be nice.

DUXFORD, UK, September 17th, 2012 – The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics have released DCS: P-51D Mustang as a digital download for $39.99. Pre-purchase also provides access to pre-release Beta versions of the title.

The Mustang was among the best and most well-known fighters of World War II. Possessing excellent range and manoeuvrability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and ground attack fighter-bomber with bombs, rockets, and machine guns. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII and proved to be what many consider the most successful fighter in history.

The DCS: P-51D Mustang offers both highly-detailed simulation and easy-to-play "game" mode options for both hardcore and casual gamers. When in simulation mode, this is the most authentic simulation of the P-51D Mustang that has ever been created for the PC. Enjoy both the thrill of flying this legendary warbird and operating its various weapons against a variety of ground and airborne targets.

An interactive training system puts you in the cockpit with an instructor that gives you step-by-step training instruction to fly the Mustang.

A powerful yet easy-to-use mission editor allows you to create your own missions and campaigns. A one-click Mission Generator also allows you to instantly create battles as small or large as you wish.

Fly online with built-in server browser that supports up to 32 players in both head-to-head and cooperative gameplay. Fly online with other DCS aircraft like the Black Shark and the A-10C Warthog.

I think im going to get this one, and combine it with my AH stick time. If anyone else is playing it or planning to then it would be fun to mix it up sometime.

I'll wait for a Corsair.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

DCS A10 was the biggest waste of money I spent on a game (can you even call it a game). No one to blame but me though.  :(

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

What's wrong with it?

Nothing. It does what it was advertise. A hardcore flight sim. I was just stupid and bought it without looking at reviews or play a demo first. I'm one of those who would rather spend their 15 minutes blowing something up than press buttons to take offs.

Couldn't you return it/swap it for a different game?

You can't return a PC game to a store because of the CD key.  Not sure how you would return a digital download either.

Pretty sure I've already established that it was a mistake.  :confused:

But whatever makes your day.  :headscratch:

The modeling on the Su-25 isn't nearly as good as the A-10 or P-51 and doesn't really give a good preview of the game.

They do run a kickstarter fundraiser for a 1944 map and planeset. :old:

If that is modelled as The A10C ( and any other plane / chopper / tank and so on ) and online world together with being able To host more players simultaneously it might become what A lot of people look for. Full Sim FM, lot of eyecandy.....

Regarding The difficulties,use a Warthog joystick, maps itself To The A10C. Makers The plane a lot easier to fly  :devil ... And that 30 mm cannon..... :rock :rock :rock :O
